I know that polls reset if you edit the responses -- it was surprising the first time but made sense once I thought about it.

Editing the text didn't reset the numbers.

@thenexusofprivacy Thank you for investigating this seemingly underexplored topic!
I noticed there are a few documented issues with polls on Mastodon, maybe they are useful for reference.

"Editing a poll's message after it has been published causes an issue with the poll results" --> https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/24997@befristet thanks! I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior in https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/24997 (on 4.5.0-alpha 1+glitch, using the web UI) but I wonder if this is what the person with the original problem ran into.

@mjack thanks much, I wound up commenting on both of those issues! @befristet linked to a couple more issues in https://mastodon.pwei.at/@befristet/115028037956502369

Editing the text didn't reset the numbers.
Adding/removing a hashtag also didn't cause a reset. Editing one of thee responses did. This was the behavior I expected -- but it's still something of a mystery what happened to the other person's poll.
